PCOS and Insulin resistance

The studies suggest the relationship between insulin resistance and PCOS in women. This also reveals the alteration in the level of certain hormones like Testosterone, LH. PCOS in women with other conditions like lipid abnormality may increase the chances of cardiovascular diseases.

Fertilization for person having deletion on Y-chromosome

Recent study has suggested that DAZ gene cluster is one of the responsible factor for Azoospermia factor (AZF) located on long arm of Y-Chromosome. The person having DAZ/AZF deletion could able to father a child by intracytoplasmic insemination (ICSI) of testicular spermatozoa in the egg but there is a large chances of offspring having Azoospermia.

The Adipose-derived Stem Cell: Looking Back and Looking Ahead

Adult stem cells has proved its role more significantly and much reliable than embryonic stem cells in stem cell therapy. Amongst various sources of adult stem cells the Adipose tissue derived stem cells draws researchers attention by showing its promising results. These types of cells can be made pluripotent and are more expandable than any other human tissue.

Stem cells may help kidney transplant patient

A short study performed by Stanford University suggest that stem cells therapy could increase the chances of acceptance of transplanted Kidney in the recipient’s body and also largely cut down the drugs used to survive kidney transplant. In future the need of perfectly match donor recipient pair could be reduce due to stem cells therapy.

Caution employed for stem cells therapy

The field of molecular biology is becoming wider and new researches are done in cell science. One of such study indicates that there could be more than one types of stem cells present in a organ, which is contradict to the belief that only one type of stem cell present in a organ. This made the process of selection of types of stem cells to be used for therapy very crucial.
